Mateyo 21
1 Mpobalashika pepi ku Yelusalemu, balashika nanshi ku Betifage ku mulundu wa maolifi, Yesu walatuma beshikwiya bakendi babili,
And when they came near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethsphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 ne kubambileti, “Kamuyani mu munshi uwu ngomulabononga pantangu apa, mwaya mwengila, nimucane mbongolo wasungililwa pamo ne mwanendi, mu basungulule mubalete kuno.”
saying to them, Go into the village opposite you, and straightaway ye will find a donkey tied, and a colt with it. Having loosed them, bring to me.
3 Na muntu amwipushe, mumwambileti, “Mwami labayandanga, apwisha kubasebensesha nabalete.”
And if any man says anything to you, ye will say, The Lord has need of them, and straightaway he will send them.
4 “Ici calenshika kwambeti maswi alamba mushinshimi akwanilishiwe, akwambeti,
Now all this came to pass, so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
5 “Kamwambilani munshi wa Siyoni kwambeti Kobona Mwami wakobe lesanga kulinjobe, Walicepesha, kayi watanta pa mbongolo. Watanta pa mwana mbongolo, nyama ishikumanta mitolo.”
Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King comes to thee, meek, and mounted upon a donkey, and a colt the foal of a pack animal.
6 Popelapo beshikwiya balensa mbuli Yesu ncalabambila.
And the disciples having gone, and having done as Jesus commanded them,
7 Balaleta mbongolo pamo ne mwanendi, balayansa bikwisa pamusana pa mwanambongolo, uyo ngwalatantapo Yesu.
they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their garments over them. And he sat upon them.
8 Bantu bangi balayansa bikwisa munshila, nabambi balakwakula misampi yabitondo ne kwiyansa munshila.
And the great multitude spread their garments on the road, and others cut down branches from the trees, and spread them on the road.
9 Bantu bangi balikuba pantangu ne balikuba panyuma, balatatika kubilikisheti, “Hosana kuli Mwanendi Dafeti. Walelekwa uyo lesanga mu Lina lya Lesa, Hosana kuli Lesa wakwilu ku Mayoba.”
And the multitudes who went ahead and those who followed, cried out, saying, Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!
10 Yesu mpwalengila mu Yelusalemu, bantu bonse balakankamana, nabambi balikabepusheti, “Anu uyu niyani?”
And when he entered into Jerusalem, all the city was shaken, saying, Who is this?
11 Bantu bangi balakumbuleti, “Uyu emushinshimi, Yesu waku Nasaleti, mucishi ca Galileya.”
And the multitudes said, This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Yesu walengila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, ne kutandanyamo bantu bonse balikulisha ne kula. Walawishila panshi matebulu ngobalikulishilapo beshikushintanisha mali, ne bipuna bya beshikulisha nkulimba,
And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all those who sold and bought in the temple. And he overturned the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.
13 Walabambileti, “Mabala alambangeti, ‘Ng'anda yakame nikabe yakupaililamo,’ Nomba amwe mulaisandulu kuba mwakuyubila bakabwalala.”
And he says to them, It is written, My house will be called a house of prayer, but ye made it a den of robbers.
14 Popelapo balema ne bashipilwa balesa kuli Yesu mu Ng'anda ya Lesa mopelemo, nendi walabasengula.
And the lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15 Bamakulene beshimilumbo ne beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose, mpobalabona byeshikukondwelesha mbyalensa kayi ne kunyumfwa batwanike mu ng'anda ya Lesa kababilikisheti, “Hosana kuli Mwanendi Dafeti,” Calabepila mu moyo.
But when the chief priests and the scholars saw the wonderful things that he did, and the boys crying out in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David, they were indignant,
16 Neco, Yesu balamwipusheti, “Sena mulanyumfunga mbyobalambanga batwanike aba?” Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Ee, kanshi nkamuna mubelengapo Maswi alambangeti Lesa walabambilalimo batwanike ne bakateta kwambeti nibakamutembaule kwakupwililila?”
and said to him, Do thou hear what these are saying? And Jesus says to them, Yes! Did ye never read, Out of the mouth of children and those who suckle thou have perfected praise?
17 Popelapo Yesu walabashiya, ne kuya ku Betani nkwalakona.
And having left them behind, he went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
18 Mpobwalaca mumene mene, Yesu mpwalikubwelela ku Yelusalemu walanyumfwa nsala.
Now early while returning to the city, he was hungry.
19 Mpwalabona citondo ca mukuyu pepi ne nshila, walayapo, nomba walacana kacikutowa matewu. Popelapo walacambila citondo camukuyu, “citondobe, kufuma lelo nteti ukasemepo bisepo sobwe.” Cindi copeleco citondo camukuyu cisa calayuma nta. (aiōn g165)
And having seen a fig tree, one on the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it, except leaves only. And he says to it, Let fruit no longer be produced from thee into the age. And immediately the fig tree dried out. (aiōn g165)
20 Beshikwiya mpobalaboneco balakankamana balamwipusha Yesu, “Inga citondo ca mukuyu ici cilafwambaneconi kuyuma?”
And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How did the fig tree dry out immediately?
21 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti na lushomo lwenu ntelo lwakutonshanya nimukacikonshenga kwinsa mbuli ncondenshili citondo ca mukuyu ici. Nteconkeco sobwe, nsombi na muwambila mulundu uwu, kwambeti, ‘Fuma apa, koya uliwale mu lwenje, mpaka nicikenshike.’
And having answered, Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, if ye have faith, and doubt not, ye will not only do that of the fig tree, but even if ye may say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it will happen.
22 Na mupaila ne lushomo ciliconse nceti mukasenge nimukapewe.”
And all things, as many as ye may ask in prayer, believing, ye will receive.
23 Cindi Yesu ncalengila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, ne kutatika kwiyisha, bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, balesa kumwipusheti, “Mwalashifunya kupeyo ngofu shakwinsa cisa? Niyani walamupa ngofu ishi?”
And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him while he taught, saying, By what authority do thou these things? And who gave thee this authority?
24 Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “ne njame nindimwipushe mwipusho umo, mwankumbula, bacu, nindimwambile nkondalafunya ngofu shakwinsa cisa.
And having answered, Jesus said to them, I also will ask you one word, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Kwambeti Yohane abatishenga, ngofu walashifunya kupeyo, kuli Lesa nambi kubantu?” Balo balatatika kutotekeshana pa lwabo bene, “Natukumbuleti walashifunya kuli Lesa, nendi nambeti, inga mwalabulila cani kumushoma?
The immersion of John, from where was it, from heaven or from men? And they deliberated with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
26 Nomba kayi natukumbuleti walashifunya kubantu, bantu nteti batulekepo sobwe, pakwinga balambangeti, Yohane nimushinshimi.”
But if we should say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.
27 Neco balamukumbuleti, “Afwe nkatucishipo sobwe.” Nendi walambeti, “Anu ne njame nteti ndimwambilepo sobwe nkondalashicana ngofu shakwinsa cisa.”
And having answered Jesus, they said, We know not. He said to them, And neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 “Amwe ngamuyeyapo aconi? Muntu naumbi walikukute bana batuloba babili. Walaya kumwanendi mukulene ne kumwambileti, ‘Mwaname, koya lelo usebense kumabala.’
But what does it seem to you? A man had two children. And having come to the first, he said, Child, go work today in my vineyard.
29 Walakumbuleti ‘Sobwe nkasuni,’ Nsombi panyuma pakendi walalitibuka, walaya ku mabala kuya kusebensa.
And having answered, he said, I do not want to, but having repented later, he went.
30 Baishi balaya kumwanabo kanike ne kumwambila maswi amo amo ngobalambila mwanabo mukulene. Nendi walambeti, ‘Ndanyumfu ta, ndenga kusebensa.’ Nsombi uliya kuyako.
And having come to the second, he said likewise. And having answered, he said, I, sir, and did not go.
31 Pa bana babili aba walensa ncobalikuyanda baishi nupeyo?” Balo balambeti, “wakutanguna usa.” Yesu walabambileti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, beshikusonkesha misonko ne batukashi bapombo balengilinga mu Bwami bwa Lesa, amwe kamutana.
Which of the two did the will of the father? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say to you, that the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Yohane Mubatishi walesa kumulesha nshila yabululami, amwe muliya kushoma sobwe, kakuli beshikusonkesha misonko, ne batukashi bapombo balo balamushoma, Amwe nambi mwalabibona, muliya kulitibuka kwambeti mumushome.”
For John came to you in a way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him. And having seen it, ye did not repent afterward to believe him.
33 Yesu walambeti, “Kamunyumfwani mukoshanyo naumbi, Muntu naumbi walikukute libala. Mulibalo'mo walabyalamo minyansa, walebaka luba kushinguluka libala lyonse, walaimba cisengu mwakutyanina minyansa, walaibaka lupingwe lwa kupembelelapo libala. Panyuma pakendi walalibwelekesha libala lisa ku balimi, nendi walaya bulwendo kucishi cimbi.
Hear ye another parable. There was a certain man who was a house-ruler, who planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and leased it to farmers, and went on a journey.
34 Cindi cakutebula mpocalashika, muntu usa walatuma basebenshi bakendi ku balimi basa, kwambeti bamupeko bisepo bya mulibala lisa.
And when the time of the fruits approached, he sent his bondmen to the farmers to receive his fruits.
35 Nomba balimi basa balabekata basebenshi basa, umo balamuma, naumbi balamushina, naumbi balamupwaya mabwe.
And the farmers having taken his bondmen, they beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Muntu usa walatumako basebenshi nabambi bangi kupita basa bakutanguna. Kayi balimi basa balabensa cimo cimo.
Again, he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner.
37 Kumapwililisho balimi basa walabatumina Mwanendi, ne kwambeti, ‘Mwaname uyu enka nibenga bamupe bulemu.’
But finally he sent to them his son, saying, They will be made ashamed by my son.
38 Nomba balimi basa mpobalamubona Mwanendi usa, balatatika kumufwiya, kabambeti, ‘uyu eshakapyane buboni bonse. Tiyeni tumushine kwambeti buboni ubu bukabe bwetu.’
But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance.
39 Neco balamwikata, nekumuwala kunsa kwa libala ne kumushina.”
And having seized him, they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 “Inga mwine libala lisa lya minyansa akesa nakabenseconi balimi basa?”
When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?
41 Balo balakumbuleti, “Nakabashine balimi baipa basa, ne kulibwelekesha libala lisa kubalimi nabambi belela kumupako bisepo pacindi cakendi celela.”
They say to him, Evil men, he will miserably destroy them, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Yesu walabepusheti, “Sena muliya kubelengapo Mabala alambangeti, ‘Libwe lyacandanshi ndyobalakana beshikwibaka,’ Elilaba libwe lya nkokola ya ng'anda lilayandikinga? Lesa mwine ewalacinseci, kayi cilatukankamanishi kucibona.”
Jesus says to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone that those who build rejected, this came to be in the head of the corner. This happened from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
43 Encondamwambililingeti, “Bwami bwa Lesa, nibukalamunwe kulinjamwe ne kubupa bantu bambi abo belela kusema bisepo.”
Because of this I say to you, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.
44 Uliyense eshakawile palibwe ili, nakapasauke pasauke. Uyo ngoshi likamuwile, nendi nakashanyaukilelimo.
And he who falls on this stone will be shattered, but on whomever it may fall, it will grind him to dust.
45 Bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne Bafalisi mpobalanyumfwa mikoshanyo njalikwamba Yesu, balenshibeti wambangendibo.
And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he spoke about them.
46 Neco balayanda kumwikata nsombi balatina bantu, pakwinga bantu bangi balikuba bashometi, Yesu nimushinshimi.
And when they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they held him as a prophet.
